Michael P. Johnson Poems

Rejoice in what your Maker’s planned
Beyond your wildest dream
Your name’s engraved within His hand
And in life’s book supreme
...

My brother said he couldn’t come
He left his place for me
His neighbours think it rather dumb
His friends are bound to see
...

The hardest steel will twist and bend
Diamonds will turn to dust
Man’s strongest force cannot defend
Against demonic lust
...

We should be on the inside
As Adam was before
But disobedience with his bride
God cast them out the door
...

The universe though vast and grand
The things we fail to see
Held together in Jesus’ hand
At Heaven’s royal decree
...

Let fly these words on eagle’s wing
Allow them rise above
Lord hear this heartfelt praise I sing
This humble song of love
...

It’s not how oft to church we go
It’s not the good we do
It’s not the people that we know
Nor if we share their view
...

You’re never bad you’re never mean
You’d never hurt a fly
And though you’re nice and awfully clean
You’re still afraid to die
...

We journey down life’s arduous road
Downcast with aching heart
For on our backs a heavy load
Keeps tearing us apart
...

Through faith, we’ve hope with love and care
God’s wondrous face to see
Christ pulled the plug on life’s despair
Whilst nailed upon the tree
...
